CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

The clinical facilities utilized by South Georgia College require a background check and a drug screening prior to attending clinicals. Based on the result of these screenings, the facilities may choose to disallow a student to attend clinicals. To complete the nursing curriculum, students must be able to attend clinicals at these sites. Failure to do so would result in the inability of the student to complete the program of study. Students must meet the facilities' requirements for both the drug screening and background check.
